Today, I’m joined by Cheryl Sew Hoy, Founder & CEO of Tiny Health.
Designed for moms and infants, Tiny Health’s comprehensive microbiome tests aim to improve immune systems and prevent chronic disease. In growth mode, it secured $8.5M last month.
In this episode, we discuss the company’s family-focused approach to gut health.
We also cover:
